After Zhang Yu came out of the Zhixue Hall, he returned to his residence.
At this time, he did not know that the study note he had placed in the Zhixue Hall had been intercepted halfway.
However, he never pins his success or failure on others, especially when it comes to important matters, he always wants to take control of them in his own hands.
Two days later, he will go to the Zhixue Hall again. If he doesn't get a reply by then, then he will never sit around and wait. Instead, he will take another letter of study and send it to Xuan Mansion in person.
Even if someone mentioned it later, he would be able to find a good reason. After all, he had acted in accordance with the academy's regulations from the beginning, but he had to make such a choice because he couldn't get the results and the deadline was approaching.
Along the way back, there were more and more pedestrians, and he would inevitably run into some colleagues from the academy who were passing by.
When these people saw his great appearance and extraordinary abilities, they would stop to greet him in admiration. No matter what the identity of the other person was, he would return the favor in a neither humble nor condescending way.
Just when he was about to return to his residence, he saw a dignified woman in white dark clothes standing under a pavilion in front of her.
"Teacher Xin?"
Zhang Yu was surprised when he recognized Xin Yao, the female teacher on the debate stage that day. Looking at her appearance, she seemed to be waiting here specially.
Xin Yao did not wear glasses today, and her eyes were particularly clear. She said calmly: "Teacher Zhang, that day you bowed three times when entering the house. This is an ancient Xia ritual, and it has its own meaning. I just don't know that you are worshiping 'Jun, Chief, or Master'."
', or 'Tao, De, Zhi'?"
Zhang Yu's heart moved and he replied in a serious voice: "Of course it is Tao, virtue, and knowledge!"
Xin Yao said calmly: "I understand, thank you Professor Zhang for telling the truth." She bowed, turned around, and left along the flower path.
Zhang Yu was thoughtful. He saw a feeling that was both familiar and unfamiliar from Xin Yao. Coupled with the question he asked, he was able to determine that this person must have some relationship with Xuanfu.
In fact, this is not too unexpected, because he killed Yaoxiao before as a mortal, and now this matter is fermenting again, Xuanfu will definitely pay attention to him.
But no matter what others do, he only needs to do his own thing step by step.
After returning to my residence, I took a shower, sat down behind my desk, thought for a moment, took a stack of paper over, and started writing the names of various medicinal materials on it.
There are only a few pills left in his pill bottle, and now they need to be remixed.
This elixir was given by his former teacher, and it is called "Yuan Yuan Dan". Two or three pills can strengthen the foundation, which is very helpful for him to gather his divine energy. He has been using this pill to replace his daily food.
.
Of course, he won't treat himself harshly, and if he encounters delicious food, he doesn't mind tasting it.
In just a moment, he wrote down several pages. Not all of them contained medicinal ingredients for the pills, but some were deliberately mixed in to prevent others from seeing the original formula.
He is not worried about not being able to buy these things in Ruiguang City. The water and sea routes here are well developed, and most of the goods in the Protectorate are gathered here. Moreover, the Xuanfu must have similar elixirs, and they must often send people out to buy them, so it should be very convenient.
You can get it together soon.
At this time, I heard a voice outside and asked, "Is the master at home?"
Zhang Yu changed his mind, put away the application form on the desk, walked out and opened the door, and saw a young man in his twenties, also wearing an assistant teacher's robe, standing outside the door.
The man bowed his hands to him and said: "I live in Qianchang, in the shabby house thirty steps away to the right. The courtyard here has been uninhabited for a long time, and today I suddenly saw that there is an owner, so I came here to visit."
Zhang Yu clasped his hands and bowed back, saying: "Since we are neighbors, please come in and have a seat."
Qian Chang said a few polite words and followed him into the house. He quickly looked around, coughed, took out a can of tea from his sleeve and placed it on the table, "This is tea grown in my hometown.
It’s not worth a lot of money, so Brother Zhang might as well give it a try.”
Zhang Yu invited him to sit down. Since he had just moved in and had nothing to entertain him, he soaked the tea brought by Qian Chang to entertain the guests and started chatting.
After finishing a cup of tea, Qian Chang rolled his eyes and said: "I had a great time chatting with Brother Zhang today, and I felt a little poetic in my heart. I am afraid that I will lose my mood when I look back, so I want to ask Brother Zhang to lend me some pen and paper!"
Zhang Yuruo looked at him meaningfully and took him into the study.
Qian Chang turned his eyes and saw a few pieces of paper on the desk. He let out a sigh, rushed forward to pick it up and read it. He exclaimed: "What a good calligraphy! What a good calligraphy!" He then showed doubts.
, "Is this a prescription? Is there anything wrong with Assistant Teacher Zhang?"
Zhang Yudao: "It's just a medicine to refresh your mind."
Qian Chang said: "With so many medicinal materials, Assistant Professor Zhang doesn't have an assistant, right? How about I ask my assistant to run it for you?"
Zhang Yu said: "Since Brother Qian is willing to help, I would like to thank you here."
Qian Chang even said no, so he came down, took a pen and paper, pretended to write a poem, chatted for a while, and then left.
Zhang Yu secretly guessed that this person should have been sent by the academy. Maybe some people were worried about him, maybe they wanted to see what he was doing, or maybe they wanted to get some handle on him so that they could better control him.
It's just that this person's acting skills are a little exaggerated and his self-cultivation is not enough.
But he was also thinking about whether he should find an assistant, so that many chores could be done by others and he could be freed from it.
But after another thought, I decided to let it go first. It is difficult to truly trust people in the Academy. You can wait until you enter the Xuan Palace and gain a certain ability to protect yourself.
Taiyang Academy, Dongting Xuanfu.
Located directly north of the Academy, it is a majestic palace complex surrounded by a city platform and three palaces inside.
Its location can be said to be at the top of Tianxia's ritual system. In fact, the entire Taiyang Academy was expanded around this place.
In the affairs hall, the head of the Xuan Mansion, Changchun Chun, was currently reviewing the invitations sent to study this year. He read them very carefully. Every time he turned over one, he would write a line of comments on it in his own hand.
After the last greeting card was approved, he looked at the card box. The stack was about ten fingers thick, and he couldn't help but squint his head and said, "There are many more students who want to come to my Xuan Mansion to study this year than in previous years."
Xu Ying, who was sitting opposite, was dismissive and said: "No matter how many people come, what's the use? How many people can devote themselves to practice and persevere to the end? Most people can't even sense the Great Dao Chapter, let alone
Let’s not talk about reading the rules and regulations. Today’s academy students really only value their career in their hearts, so even if there are talents, they will not appear among this generation.”
Xiang Chun shook his head and said: "Junior brother, you are too arbitrary. Isn't that how you and I came here?"
Xu Ying retorted: "But our brothers and sisters have been with the teacher since childhood and have been influenced by it, so we have not deviated from the right path."
Xiang Chun looked up at him and said, "Are you going to talk about that Ji family son again?"
Xu Yingli said confidently: "Brother Xiang, as I told you, Junior Brother Ji has been taught by Junior Brother Chen since he was a child. He himself is indeed an outstanding talent. Who can hold up the next Jiazi in Xuanfu and hold up the Shenwei Army?"
pressure, then after you and me, he is the only one left. Junior Brother Chen was killed by that traitor. Now we have the responsibility to teach him. I have decided that in a few days I will personally go and bring him to the Xuan Mansion.
"
Xiang Chun thought for a moment and said, "That's fine."
Xu Ying said happily: "Brother, do you agree?
Xiang Chun said: "I also want to see what the young man you praised so well is like, but you must pay attention to your own safety. Junior Brother Chen is no longer here, and I don't want you to follow in the same footsteps."
Xu Ying waved his hand and said: "Senior brother, don't worry, I'm afraid that traitor still doesn't like me." He said energetically: "And if you can bring Master Ji's nephew to your residence, Xu Ying will be nothing without me."
Xiang Chun looked at his excited expression and said earnestly: "Junior brother Xu, don't take someone too seriously. The more talents the better, but who can say clearly what will happen in the future? The tide of turmoil is receding, and everyone
If the Protectorate returns to Tianxia, what will the Shenwei Army mean?"
Xu Ying said unceremoniously: "But what if Tianxia is gone? Ever since Junior Brother Chen passed away, I know that we can't rely on others, we can only rely on ourselves!"
Xiang Chun did not argue with him, and sighed slightly: "Even so..." He pointed to the name cards in the sticker box, "There may not be talents and good qualities among these students."
Xu Ying looked disapproving.
Xiang Chun knew at a glance that he didn't listen to his words at all, and he felt quite helpless.
At this time, an assistant came in, bowed and handed the book in his hand upwards, saying: "Xue Ling, another letter of study has been sent."
Xiang Chun is a little strange. Most of the study posts come together and are sent separately. That means they are not sent through the academy, but are recommended by someone in Xuanfu. This shows that the owner of the post may have something unique.
place.
He also paid attention to it, took the name card and looked at it carefully.
"Oh, still an assistant teacher? Well, it is rare for someone to enter the academy through self-recommendation."
Xu Ying got what he wanted and was about to leave. When he heard this, he turned back and said: "Brother, I know the person you are talking about. I heard that he was the one who killed the newt some days ago."
"Yes." He sneered and said: "A mere mortal can kill spiritual monsters? It's just to deceive ordinary fools. Maybe this is a deliberate arrangement by the Shenwei Army, Xuanfu cannot accept such kind of monsters."
people."
Xiang Chun frowned and said: "Junior brother, you are too extreme. As long as he is not a cultist, even if he is really related to the Shenwei Army, the Xuanfu will accept anyone who is willing to join my profound way. You also know that anyone with an impure mind
People can't go very far on this road like ours."
Xu Ying insisted on his opinion and said: "In short, this person's origin is unknown and there is definitely something wrong. Even if senior brother chooses to accept him, then I will keep an eye on him." After saying this, he rolled up his sleeves and went out.
Xiang Chun shook his head and read the application form in his hand carefully. When he saw that Zhang Yu was proficient in ancient natural history and understood the languages of many indigenous tribes, he couldn't help but sit up straight and his expression became a little more serious.
"This person must be recruited into our Xuanfu!"
He thought for a while, picked up a pen and wrote a comment on it, printed it, and handed it to the assistant, saying: "Send it to Assistant Teacher Zhang as soon as possible without delay."
